Bible Question:
How can I have a personal relationship with GOD? |
Bible Answer: Dewey, it is this simple. God is Holy and perfect. Man has sinned, God cannot just overlook our sins, so God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to take the punishment for sin that we all deserve. The punishment for sin is death. Jesus died for you. But Jesus being sinless did not stay dead. Death had no legal right over Jesus becuase he had never sinned. So Jesus rose from the Dead three days later. Jesus is Alive right now. God (who cannot lie) promises us that we can be born again in our spirit and know God. As "New Creature" has posted scriptures, there are many such promises in the Bible. These are not just words in a book. They are the words of God who cannot lie. You are required to take the first step of faith and believe that God mean what he said. He said if anyone will come to him he will not cast him out. Anyone. Are you an anyone? Then you qualify. Just pray something like this. "Lord I believe in you and your Son Jesus Christ. I am sincerely sorry for my sins, and ask you to forgive me of all unrighteousness. I know I do not deserve your mercy but I know that you cannot lie and that you sent your Son to pay the price for me so that I could be saved. Lord I give you my life and will live for you with my whole heart the rest of my life." If you pray something like that, (and the wording is not important, but the heart of faith and repentance is what God accepts), then you are promised to have eternal life and know God. May God bless you daily as you read the Bible and grow daily in His image. The next step is to find a local church in your area and asked to be baptized in water as an act of faith in what Christ has done for you. |
